They say that in the original Super Mario, Mario ran faster than Sonic did in the orginal Sonic the Hedgehog.

So if anything, Mario can run faster than Sonic. unQuote

*cough cough* original
Meaning the new sonic still runs faster then Mario, and the new sonic runs faster then the Original Mario, dose that make sense?

But that still leaves the question.....

Maybe something like Sonic Riders.

In real life when airplanes fly the make a turbulence behind hind them which is a reason why most airplanes have to wait 10 min before take off. So in this case, Sonic moves at the speed of light, so the Turbulence can easily make such strong wind force that the wind pulls Mario forward and he keeps up, which is also how most characters keep up with Sonic when he is running. If you don't believe me ask or tell a parent to drive right behind a semi-truck on the highway, the Semi takes up enough space so wind resistance dose not affect the car and makes the car go faster. This is also called Draft which is used in most races for cars to speed faster then other cars.

1. he runs faster than the speed of sound (super sonic=bad pun) but not the speed of light, and
2. If you've actually played the original Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, one of mario's missions is to beat sonic in the 100m dash

Also,In one sonic shorts volume,there was A Sonic Riders parody that had sonic jump off his board,run backwards,and give jet the middle finger.Also,if sonic can get A slope and go into ball form,he's ultimately faster than Mario.Mario,is pretty much A slow fatass.Hell,it would take him A damn long time to achieve full speed.Also,he was pretty slow and wasn't able to run in galaxy.In Galaxy 2,with the first Magikoopa,if Mario touched that mud,he would be so slow to the point A Goomba can outrun him.So,Sonic wins.

@Shadowblade2584: Sorry to tell you, but Mario is fast enough to keep up with Sonic in their Olympics games... Super Smash Bros Brawl was just exaggerated, so were the two Super Mario Galaxy. Besides, Mario can jump high... and is using the aforementioned Draft to keep up.
